It’s the 8th episode from our "Day to Day" series, and this time we’re discussing the ocean carbon cycle.

How does carbon enter our oceans? What does it do once it’s there? These questions and more will be answered in this latest episode! Join host Mark Higgins, Hayley Evers-King (Marine Applications Expert) and guest, Jamie Shutler (Associate Professor in Earth observation at the University of Exeter) for the latest instalment on how Copernicus satellite data can affect our day-to-day lives.
